The Hidden War Between Publishers and AI Crawlers (And How to Win It)

How to Win the War
You win by controlling access. You win by blocking unauthorized crawlers. You win by charging AI companies that want access.
This is exactly what AI Crawler Guard enables. It turns your website into protected intellectual property, not free training data.
